4/ The marine layer is making an effort to push in from the NW, which is reflected in relatively better air quality this morning ("unhealthy") compared to yesterday ("hazardous"). The visibility is better, and we can see SE towards the #CarmelFire, now just a mile away.

5/ Today's forecast looks like we've broken the recent heatwave and could have stronger onshore winds. The hourly forecast has that beginning at 3 pm PT. #CarmelFire
